The fish population lives on an orange reef bed. Because of this, fish that are _orange_ are able to blend in and resist predation.

Because fish that are _orange_ are more likely to blend in and resist predation, they are more likely to survive to reproduce.

After several generations, one can expect the fish population to have a _large_ portion of orange individuals compared to red individuals.

The answer is:

Within a population of fish, genetic variation exists in the form of body color. Some fish are orange and some are fish are red.

The fish population lives on an orange reef bed. Because of this, fish that are smaller are more likely to blend in and resist predation.

Because fish that are orange, are more likely to blend in and resist predation, they are more likely to survive to resist predation.

Fish produce many offspring, which inherit the genes for body color.

After many generations, one can expect the fish population to have larger portion of orange individuals as compared to red individuals.

In this manner, natural selection is driving evolution.
